Hoshoryu (Y) beat Hakuoho (M2)
Onosato (Y) beat Abi (M1)
Of note: There are now 5 leading at 3-0 which include both Yokozuna off to perfect starts with no kinboshi conceded yet. Kirishima, Ura & Ryuden are also in that group. Also huge props to Mitakeumi, fighting with the heaviest heart, getting that first win today to honor his mother who suddenly died last week. Hopefully several more to follow. Tomorrow it’s role reversals for the Yokozuna as Onosato faces Hakuoho and Hoshoryu gets Abi. Elsewhere, today marked career win 873 for Tamawashi, moving the Iron Man past Taiho into 9th all-time.
Ozeki Watch: Now it’s worry time for Wakatakakage, he can still get to 11 but now at 1-2 he can only afford 2 more losses.
